#Peter Dutton

[camillasgirl]

"Your Majesty, our Queen, of the many qualities Australians see in you, there is none stronger than the love you have for your husband, your King."

The Hon. Peter Dutton, Leader of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition and Leader of the Liberal Party during a speech at Australian Parliament House in Canberra, 21.10.2024

Welp, it’s started in Australia now. Given that he’s echoing Trumpian sentiments and Trump has just made that statement about diversity politics in response to a fatal plane crash, I really don’t think he’s going to get the response he’s after. What a fucking clown.

(For non-Australians, this is our Opposition leader and he’s getting rightfully dragged across the coals for this in the media)

[votealbanese]

so the Australian election is expected to be held by May 2025.

I know that Anthony Albanese isn't liked by a lot of people, HOWEVER, I still think we should be voting for him.

The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, shares the same views as Donald Trump.

It's not about voting for the best option. It's about not choosing the worst option.

Please, Australia, don't let America's reality become ours too.

[onthebirdroads]

peter dutton's big new idea to help you with the cost of living is to.. *checks notes* let your boss claim it back on tax if they take you out for lunch or a golf trip.

He has also "pledged to address inflation by "cutting government waste," singling out the jobs of 36,000 public servants hired under Labor."

He wants to sack tens of thousands of people because providing services is "wasteful". Centrelink phone wait times are down, claims processing times are down, backlogs are down, all because they hired over 4000 extra people (and provided 4000 jobs), but that is "wasteful".

There are much less cruel, much less insulting ways to throw a dead cat. Just saying.

From now on, any time Dutton is at a public event and stops for a press conference, someone should definitely run and jump around the background with the Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander flags.

Probably worth pointing out too: it was the previous Morrison government — the one in which Dutton was Home Affairs minister — that paid AU$20 million for the same flag that he now says he won't use. Maybe he's forgotten?

The coal smashing records that Peter Dutton does NOT want you to know

P.S.Solar power works well in Latvia, quite far in the North...! Russian natural gas and other fossil fuel sellers and believers are obviously getting hysterical...

[jewish-kulindadromeus]

i may have misunderstood but i thought the 'Dutton's Jews' slide was from a speech by the Jewish Council of Australia, and that it was mocking Peter Dutton's overt and disgusting antisemitism and his idea of 'model jews'. i know australia is still extremely antisemitic but i'm not sure the media coverage of this incident is accurate.

Oh really??? I have no idea either way so posting this for people to weigh in

[junkyarddevil]

Wow. The opposition who said "hey don't vote 'Yes' in this referendum its too complex, we'll host another referendum when we're in power with better wording" have now abandoned that promise now that the referendum failed. Who could've seen this coming.

[juiceagainandagainandagain]

he's right behind me isn't he....?

[dragonridingsorceress]

I don't often make memes, but I could see this one clearly in my head and it wouldn't let me go until I made it.
